Review and application of natural ventilation simulation technology for buildings

Presents the existing simulation softwares of natural ventilation, and analyses the commonalities and differences. Taking the National Aquatics Centre as example, presents the application of natural ventilation simulation technology in detail. The National Aquatics Centre adopts the mechanical aided natural ventilation mode, and applies integrated building environment simulation software Visualesp-r to simulating and determining an optimal ventilation mode in energy saving design. The simulation results agree well with the field measured results.
